The coronary venous system is a highly variable network of veins that drain the deoxygenated blood from the myocardium. The system is made up of the greater cardiac system, which carries the majority of the deoxygenated blood to the right atrium, and the smaller cardiac system, which drains the blood directly into the heart chambers. The coronary veins are currently being used for several biomedical applications, including but not limited to cardiac resynchronization therapy, ablation therapy, defibrillation, perfusion therapy, and annuloplasty. Knowledge of the details of the coronary venous anatomy is essential for optimal development and delivery of treatments using this vasculature. This article is part of a JCTR special issue on Cardiac Anatomy.

Human coronary venous anatomy: implications for interventions.

Le syst&egrave;me veineux coronaire est un r&eacute;seau tr&egrave;s variable des veines qui drainent le sang d&eacute;soxyg&eacute;n&eacute; du myocarde. Le syst&egrave;me est constitu&eacute; du syst&egrave;me cardiaque sup&eacute;rieur, qui porte la majorit&eacute; du sang d&eacute;soxyg&eacute;n&eacute; &agrave; l&#39;oreillette droite, et le plus petit syst&egrave;me cardiaque, qui draine le sang directement dans les cavit&eacute;s cardiaques. Les veines coronaires sont actuellement utilis&eacute;s pour plusieurs applications biom&eacute;dicales, y compris mais non limit&eacute; &agrave; la th&eacute;rapie de resynchronisation cardiaque, traitement ablatif, d&eacute;fibrillation, th&eacute;rapie de perfusion et d&#39;annuloplastie. Connaissance des d&eacute;tails de l&#39;anatomie veineuse coronaire est essentielle pour un d&eacute;veloppement optimal et la prestation de traitements &agrave; l&#39;aide de ce syst&egrave;me vasculaire. Cet article fait partie d&#39;un num&eacute;ro sp&eacute;cial de JCTR sur l&#39;anatomie cardiaque.

Anatomie veineuse coronaire : implications pour des interventions.

Il sistema venoso coronarico &egrave; una rete altamente variabile delle vene che drenano il sangue deossigenato dal miocardio. Il sistema &egrave; costituito dal sistema cardiaco maggiore, che trasporta la maggior parte del sangue deossigenato all&#39;atrio destro, e il sistema cardiaco pi&ugrave; piccolo, che drena il sangue direttamente in alloggiamenti del cuore. Le vene coronarie vengono attualmente utilizzate per diverse applicazioni biomediche, compreso ma non limitato alla terapia di resincronizzazione cardiaca, la terapia di ablazione, defibrillazione, terapia di perfusione e annuloplastica. Conoscenza dei dettagli dell&#39;anatomia venosa coronarica &egrave; essenziale per lo sviluppo ottimo e la consegna dei trattamenti utilizzando questo sistema vascolare. Questo articolo fa parte di un numero speciale di JCTR sull&#39;anatomia cardiaca.
